Black Box VX-HDMI-HDIP-RX MediaCento IPX HD Extender Receiver

HDMI-over-IP Extender Receiver

The Black Box VX-HDMI-HDIP-RX receives 1080p HDMI video and multi-channel audio over a Gigabit Ethernet network at distances up to 328 feet. It supports high-definition surround formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio up to 7.1 channels at 192 kHz. Power is supplied through PoE compliant with IEEE 802.3at Class 4, removing the need for an external adapter.

Replacing Direct HDMI Cabling

This receiver replaces point-to-point HDMI runs when the source and display are separated by more than a standard cable length. The jump is worth it for installations that require routing through existing network infrastructure or that need to distribute one source to multiple screens across a building. It also enables video wall configurations up to 8x8 displays when paired with compatible transmitters and the MediaCento Controller.

Installations Using MediaCento Ecosystem

The unit suits integrators building matrix switching or video wall systems within the MediaCento product family, especially where front-panel setup without software is preferred. It is not suited for applications requiring 4K resolution pass-through, for standalone point-to-point extension without a managed network switch, or for environments outside the 0 to 50 °C operating temperature range.
